A website dedicated to murdered Canadian teen Rebecca Middleton will go live next week in a bid to help fundraising efforts to help convict her killers.

The site will feature pictures of Rebecca and her family as well as documents and reports concerning the botched handling of the investigation. Supporters have already hired a Canadian QC to help relaunch the case after no one was convicted for her 1996 killing.

Friend Rick Meens said the handling of the case amounted to an abuse of process with the fiasco of prosecutorial failures amounting to a violation of human rights. He said: ?These violated rights now would be to the estate of Rebecca Middleton and, since she is deceased, to the family of Rebecca Middleton.?

Already individuals and groups have agreed to chip into the legal war chest which could result in a private prosecution if the Prosecutors refuse to reopen the case.

However Mr. Meens is frustrated by the lack of interest shown by the Department of Public Prosecutions and the Governor. Rebecca, 17, was raped, tortured and killed while on holiday. Two men later appeared in court over the case. One was released by a judge and the other pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and was sentenced to five years in prison.

Mr. Meens said: ?The question about what happened to cause the injustice has hovered over the case and the community should and will get an answer.

?We would prefer that justice simply be done. However, it appears that this will not happen unless the issue of the events that surrounded the management of the case be made public and considered in a court of law.?

Mr. Meens believes the case could be reopened by filing a new charge of aggravated sexual assault which carries a life sentence.
